A rant on fashion...

For a White Guy

What. The. FUCK is with the fashion this year? Why are they trying to make GRANNY CLOTHES stylish? Like, yes, I think some of the old styles are pretty fashionable in FEW cases, but really people? Dressing up in skirts that go up to your hips can only help you so much- old ladies wear them when they start getting the old fatty belly so that they can hide the bulge. Wearing your mother's curtains and helplessly tying ropes around it makes you look like a parachute that opened too early, and then the sky diver DIED in it. (actually, that would be a REALLY cool costume. Wear one of those dresses and then drench yerself in fake blood) And, lastly, making shirts and dresses of your deceased greatmother's couches and furniture is not sexy. "Where'd you get that dress? It looks like my grandma's sofa!" "..." Oh, and the other style that's been going on besides the granny look? HOBO LOOK. FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL.

Although, in the picture above, even though it undoubtedly fails, I don't disapprove of the nudity. Tee hee.

What did you do to granny's wallpaper!?

Granny's sweater- made during her 'witch phase'

It seems as though some kind of animal is trying to escape her pants... see how it billows out in said manner? and because her left foot is forward, it looks like there's a bulge on her thigh. ;)

Rawrs! Watch out for my vampirely ways! I will attack you with my caterpillar hands!

I'm too lazy to FIX my tights or get new ones. So, I'll just walk around like a homeless person and see if anyone jumps me.

The ones on the outside- how is that not reminding you of your dead aunt Sally?

Goth girl going to... work? Party? The girl on the right only pulls it off because of her bad ass hair.

Little orphan Annie has finally grown up~! Into a prostitute, that is.

You... you stole my curtains! Is there a dead guy in there??? Helloooooo~?

Curtains from granny's funeral. :(

I... um... WTF?

Where's her pants? Is she even wearing panties?

Man on the left: GAY. Woman on the right: homeless gal wearing a blanket to keep warm. Poor gal...Beware! Pirates of the Catholic church are on the move!

Here I am!

Rocked You Like a Hurricane~!

Hmmm... to get my blog updated and over with, I guess I'll do something now instead of later... Gaaaaaaah today was so weird... "You're bi-curious! Make out with us!" "....okay...?!" -_-"

So... I'm kinda in a rut- AGAIN- with the art making... thing.... I'm just not in the FUNK and have no solid ideas-although i did a fabulous creation of a small drawing involving boobs and watercolor during class. I'm not sure what kind of media to use next. Watercolor and pen? Charcoal, like my last major piece, and pen? Combination? None of the above!? So many choices.... T_T

To make this longer I guess I'll talk about... the fucked up weather!? Nah, I'll talk about the picture above with the girl and the inking and drippy stuff. I really like the style used to create it- it's got a good use of contour drawing combined with -the for ever fun and exciting- splatters. I love how the words are used sparingly but necessary in it. The way everything is placed in the piece draws your eyes around the piece and keeps it interesting. :)
The inking done above is my style of drawing, but alas, not my work. I wish, though... To get such a good angle, line quality, and lighting would be nearly impossible for me. Although when I become a tattoo artist in the future, I'll need to know that stuff... :/Teenagers scare, the living shit out of me! They could care less as long as somebody bleeds. So toughen your clothes, or strike a violent pose, maybe they'll leave you alone, but not ME.

The way you're shaking

I can't believe it

Raaaaaawr. So... I'm going to start this with a little rant about my weekend.

And no, this entire post is not about her ass or how beautiful that woman looks in the photo... I'll only mention it in the next paragrpah because I'm still listening to that song.

Unfortunately, I got no ass like that last weekend... although it does look quite nice, ne? Too bad I know very few ladies at Lakeridge who would swing my way... It's quite the unfortunate truth... that, or they're stuck in the stupid closet because of this male dominant egotistical religion-fucked society. I might rant about that later... or earlier... I might have made a rant about religious mind control and how it influenced the brain fucking, but not sure if I touched on that specifically... hmm....

Anyway.

So, usually about every other weekend I go up to Mount Hood Meadows to snowboard, and sometimes, because my sister and baby nephew live in Bend, mom and I drive on down there. Usually this will work out great- on the way there, I board a couple hours, hang out at my sister's, then on the way back board a couple more hours- however... my sister-in-law wanted to come with her son (also my nephew)... my TWO YEAR OLD nephew. Now, I don't know if you know this, but it's abooout a 3 hour drive to Bend, and we had to drive there in mom's smaaaaaaaaaall car. Jam packed with 'essential to living' CRAP. Let me paint an image in your brain: Two adults in the front seats, a two year old in the back, and next to him (pretty much no middle seat)is my snowboard and myself. Jammed into the same seat for SIX HOURS. Imagine laying against a hunk of metal about as sharp as a dull knife for that long.

And then, due to still being sick, I couldn't board for very long and, because we had a two year old with us, I only got to snowboard for an hour on the mountian in the most perfect weather I've seen in weeks. Only an hour, damn it.

RAAAAWR.

Not only that, but after I felt better... I tried some of my sister's home cooking.

Never.

Doing that.

Again.

It made me sick, and at four in the morning I woke up with the unsettling urge to purge, and couldn't get back to sleep for another hour and a half. The next morning I didn't trust her food, (it also just looked gross) and so because we had a sleeping toddler in the car (as we were driving back) we couldn't stop to get food... I ended up not being able to eat for 20 hours. Not. Fun.

The only highlight of my weekend was that I got a haircut... which, extremely ODDLY enough, about fifty other people decided to at the same time, too. What, did a psychological BOMB explode in all of our heads at once? Maybe some kind of alarm clock? "GET YOUR HAIR CUT. GET IT DONE. NOW, BITCH."

I think that's what my alarm clock said this morning....

And yes, my alarm clock frequently insults me. It's supposed to annoy me until I 'wake up'. It's got about 5 insults that it rotates with... "GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!! TIME TO GET UP, TIME TO GET UP!!!" "You wanna end up like the fishies? Get up." But now, because I'm so used to them and I'm still dreaming when I hear it, it just starts laughing at me... sometimes it comes up with new insults when I'm half asleep...

Let's see... what's something art related I can say? Hmmmm.... I still need to do the Be Jing painting... sketch... thing. Aaaaand I started reading manga and doing comics again this past weekend. I'm trying to have them based on different folk lore and mythology from different cultures, and then add my own gay twist to them.

There's not enough gay love in the world.

Nope.

Everything would be so much better if everyone was GAY. Then men wouldn't complain about bitches, girls wouldn't complain AND OBSESS over ass holes, and if dudes or dudines complained about their partner, they'd be hypocrits and thus... really silly. "DUDE, guys can be such ass holes! We suck, man!" "... Not all of us are jerks..." "All dudes are jerks, except us. We're special." "..." Or, a lesbian conversation: "Women are SUCH drama queens! They obsess and are over critical of every little tiny thing! We can't they just have a good time?! Why can't women just LIVE and FORGET?" "DUDE, shut up. I'm trying to kick your ass at pool." "I'M NOT DONE COMPLAINING ABOUT OUR SPECIES." "Dude, live and forget." "DON'T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE, BITCH." "... Bitch."

Wait, I DID have something I was going to talk about before I was distracted with my weekend! I was going to comment on the comments I got on my artwork...

Yeah....

Thank you guys for commenting on them and giving good feedback, btw. I found them genuinely interesting and, although a little surprised by some of them, really appreciated hearing about my artwork. Here's a little history on this year so far with my artwork, though.

November: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I HATH NO INSPIRATION.

December: *smacks head on desk repeatedly* *gets talk about not doing artwork in class by the blond lady... teacher helper gal...* *smacks head even MORE in artistic frustration* *turns in CRAP for the concentration pieces due*

January: Grrr... art... OMG PENS! And this, ladies and gents, was the START of doing the cool design swirly things, combined with realism/portraits. I really had never done that kind of art before the project was due (seriously, like a week before the project was due I was like, "... wait... portraits... swirly pen fun... WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS BEFORE!?" Those were preeeetty much my first drawings with the style. So no... I don't think I was caged or 'limiting' myself in the slightest), which might explain why some of you felt that I was being 'safe' or 'not exploring enough'. Jus' saying.

Febuary: Grr... I've got the style, now I just need the theme... until I can think of something, I'll do a bad ass drawing of one of my characters based on the Germal folk lore (alps), Zach. That's the only explanation for my most recent piece...

And about my theme... honestly? I don't really have one. ANY TIME I started with a theme, and tried to do art, I couldn't do anything. I'll be like, "OOH, I'LL DO STUFF WITH POLITICS AND GAY RIGHTS"... but then i can't think of anything to draw, nor what kind of style or... really anything whatsoever. It makes my artsy brain completely freeze up and spazz out uncontrollably. So my plan so far, is to do some artwork as I go along, and towards the end piece them all together. Honestly, Mrs. B, I can't work with a set theme and go from there. It makes me freak out and I don't get anything done. The most consistant thing I can do is work with the same materials...

WHICH REMINDS ME. I have an idea for my next piece, which was partially inspired by Karen's fish tits piece, partially inspired by the constant boob drawing Taylor C. and I did (on the board in the orchestra) room last Wednesday! We did a lot of boob drawings and people got mad and erased them... we drew them back on, nipples and all, but people still tried to erase them... darn straight folk. ANYWAY, that gave me an idea for the next piece that will connect it to the hand drawing I did. What it'll be, basically, a drawing of a woman standing shirtless while my bad ass swirly design stuff comes out of the cut running down the middle of her chest! ... I'll post the sketches later. I think it'll be cool....

WHICH REMINDS ME: Taylor C. and I might do collaborative work next year. She'll do the background art, and I'll do the more forward art. (as you may or may not know, I'm HORRIBLE with backgrounds.) It'll be mostly human rights and political stuff- all the controversial fun I know the school will love. :)

PS: None of the pictures I posted on this post are mine... I just had fun on deviantart searching for stuff. Jus' so ya know. :)
